    First-known sighting of living Antarctic 3 ft long deep-sea squid Gonatus antarcticus, and it’s beautiful! :)

    Very cool, but this is not a giant squid.

      To explain for others that would, like me, have to look it up: this is a large squid, but it is not the species architeuthis dux that we call the giant squid. The architeuthis one is lot bigger, up to four or five times bigger than this one

    How is knowing more about the countless undersea horrors a “good” thing…? I mean, I guess it’s preventing me from ever going in the ocean again, so yeah, okay.
